So, 'show-patch'.
Perhaps. It seems like a minor issue.
Mostly I'm skeptical that perfect terminological consistency in this
area would actually be an improvement. It might, instead, just lead
to a kind of cognative overload (if it's always "foo-patch" and
"patch-foo" and "foo-patch-bar" then the "patch" part winds up just
being noise).
